Aligning the Print Head

If ruled lines are printed misaligned or print results are otherwise unsatisfactory, adjust the print head position.

Note

You cannot feed paper from the Front Feeder when performing Print Head Alignment. Always load paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder.

Set the Paper Thickness Lever to the left.

Important

You cannot print the print head alignment pattern if paper of size other than A4 or Letter is loaded. Be sure to use A4 or Letter-sized plain paper.

2 Open the Front Feeder and extend the Paper Output Support.

3 Open the printer properties dialog box.

See Opening the Printer Properties Dialog Box Directly from the Start Menu.

4 Click the Maintenance tab and then Print Head Alignment.

5 When the confirmation message is displayed, click Print
